Chapter 98 I've only been gone a few days, and Mrs. Shi has already started to neglect me.
Qin Shuzhi, who was still stubborn during the day, truly understood how reluctant she was to part with Mr. Shi when she lay alone in bed at night.
Although they both focus on their work every day, they always want to spend time together after work, especially in the evenings.
Needless to say, on weekend nights, Mr. Shi would definitely pester her for affection, but even on weekdays when he wasn't doing that, he would still hold her in his arms and fall asleep together.
So, Qin Shuzhi had unconsciously developed a habit of having her husband beside her while she slept.
Habits are addictive.
Now that he's not here, she's even having trouble sleeping.
Qin Shuzhi blinked and stared at the ceiling, sighing silently.
Mr. Shi had only been gone for half a day, and she already... started missing him.
But he won't be back for another week.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. If I don't go to sleep now, I won't be able to get up tomorrow.
However--
Despite counting sheep all night, Qin Shuzhi still couldn't sleep.
It's so embarrassing that I can't sleep without my husband by my side. On the day we parted, she even shamelessly said that she didn't miss him.
So when they video-called the next day at noon, she was too embarrassed to tell Mr. Shi about her insomnia.
But Mr. Shi seemed to notice that she was not in good spirits, and after chatting for a short while, he told her to take a nap.
night.
Mr. Shi specifically chose to video call her half an hour before she usually went to bed.
The two chatted casually, just like they usually do before bed. Half an hour later, Qin Shuzhi felt sleepy, and Mr. Shi on the other end said goodnight to her.
After the two ended the call, Qin Shuzhi lay down and fell asleep shortly afterward.
I slept quite well that night.
Therefore, on the second night, she took the initiative to video chat with Mr. Shi before going to bed.
Sure enough, my sleep returned to normal.
Friday arrived quickly.
Qin Shuzhi used to have a little hobby.
After a week of work, my Friday evening relaxation routine involves going to a library called Little Cube to read.
The library wasn't large, and the books inside were mostly educational and learning-related, so it wasn't for the general public. But Qin Shuzhi felt it was a treasure trove.
There are many books here that she likes to read, especially some less common teaching books, which can give her a lot of inspiration and ideas for teaching.
After all, teachers need to keep improving in order to bring better teaching results to students.
Therefore, she has been working hard to improve and enhance her teaching abilities.
But this semester, Mr. Shi has been very clingy every weekend, and she hasn't been to the library even once.
With her clingy friend not around today, Qin Shuzhi left school, grabbed a quick bite outside, and went straight to the library.
Qin Shuzhi was overjoyed to find that the library had acquired many new books after not visiting for so long, and she became engrossed in them at first glance.
It wasn't until her phone vibrated in her bag that she took it out and saw it was a call from Shi Yuanxing. Looking up at the large clock on the wall, she realized it was almost ten o'clock.
She packed up and left the library before calling Shi Yuanxing.
As soon as the call connected, Shi Yuanxing's magnetic and gentle voice came through, "Still at the library?"
After she arrived at the library, she took a picture and sent it to him, telling him that she was reading in the library that night.
A night breeze blew by, and Qin Shuzhi reached out and tugged at the collar of her coat. "Yeah, I just left."
A man's soft, resentful sigh came from the other end of the line, "I've only been gone a few days, and Mrs. Shi has already started to neglect me."
Qin Shuzhi was amused by his inexplicable accusation, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hmph, I just sent you so many messages, and you didn't reply to a single one."
Hearing the man's complaints, Qin Shuzhi's sweet and soft voice drifted away on the wind, "I was reading a book just now, I didn't notice."
"So, I've fallen out of favor to the point where I'm not even as valuable as a book?"
Qin Shuzhi was both amused and exasperated. Just as she was about to argue, Shi Yuanxing said again, "I don't care. I'm back, and you have to make it up to me."
A man's voice, carrying a unique meaning, came through the microphone, its tender and somewhat ambiguous tone striking the eardrums, making one's heart involuntarily skip a beat.
A cool breeze brushed against her burning cheeks, and Qin Shuzhi said coquettishly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
A man's hearty, pleasant laughter came from the other end of the line. "Alright, you'll see when I get back."
And it's not proper.
Qin Shuzhi didn't want to talk to him anymore. "I'm going to get my car. I'm not talking to you anymore."
There are few parking spaces near the library, especially on weekends, so she parked a bit far away.
Shi Yuanxing said, "Okay, I have to go to my meeting too."
Qin Shuzhi: "Okay, bye-bye."
"Be careful, message me on WeChat when you get home."
Qin Shuzhi said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she walked across the path ahead to where she had parked her car.
After walking for about five minutes, just as they reached a fork in the road, two dark figures suddenly appeared in front of Qin Shuzhi.
"Don't move, this is a robbery."
Qin Shuzhi's steps suddenly faltered, and he stared wide-eyed at the two burly men wearing masks opposite him.
What the heck?
In the heart of a bustling city center, someone actually dared to rob someone in broad daylight?!
But at this moment, she had no time to think further, as the other party was still holding a knife.
Money is just an external thing; preserving your life is the most important thing.
Qin Shuzhi didn't even need the other party to make any more threats before she was about to throw her bag away. However, as soon as she raised her hand, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist.
She was startled and turned around to see that the person next to her was Shen Yichen.
Before Qin Shuzhi could react, another dark figure darted over. The next second, she heard Shen Yichen snort, and she was kicked a meter away, falling to the ground.
Before Qin Shuzhi could even figure out what was happening, a tall, thin, blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman appeared before him.
The woman looked her up and down a few times, and just when Qin Shuzhi thought she was going to snatch the bag from her hand, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the two robbers in front of her.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, it was clear that this foreign friend was helping her.
Seeing that she was a woman and the other party had a knife, Qin Shuzhi was very worried. She subconsciously took a step forward to call the woman back, but unexpectedly discovered that the woman was skilled in martial arts.
Moreover, she seemed to be able to handle being attacked by two burly men with ease.
Her going up there might actually affect the women's performance.
Qin Shuzhi did not step forward again, but immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.
"Hello, there's a robbery here... Yes, the address is..."
Qin Shu didn't know the exact address. Looking around, she spotted a breakfast shop that was closing up ahead with a sign and address. She quickly ran over to give the address to the police.
"This is Yunqi Road Second Street..."
As she was speaking, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the side.
"careful."
Before Qin Shuzhi could turn around, she was shoved hard.
The force was so great that she stumbled and fell to the ground, her phone flying out of her hand, and at the same time a loud bang came from behind her.
Qin Shuzhi, who had fallen to the ground, was startled. She turned around abruptly and saw that a shared charging cabinet had collapsed where she had been standing, and Shen Yichen's back had been hit by it.
